In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations.
Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine.

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury.
Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September. What’s really going on behind closed doors?

In a major setback for peace in Eastern Europe, the Kremlin has poured cold water on any hopes of a Zelensky–Putin summit in the next 30 days. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared the meeting “unlikely,” citing irreconcilable differences between Ukraine and Russia’s draft proposals. This comes amid growing U.S. pressure, with President Donald Trump threatening sweeping 100% secondary tariffs on Russia if a peace deal isn't reached by the looming 50-day deadline.
While Zelensky has repeatedly offered to meet Putin face-to-face, Moscow continues to dodge direct engagement. Instead, Russia is sticking to a rigid draft memorandum first introduced in Turkey and refuses to consider Ukraine’s summit request before August-end. Trump, visibly frustrated, warned that the lack of progress could trigger severe economic consequences. With time running out and no summit in sight, the chances of diplomacy are fading fast.

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.
